I am currently having a problems with my Windows 7 Operating System. I am baffled by the sheer number of warnings within Windows Explorer, the PC I am using is an entry level workstation, most of the parts are fairly recent, it has been a year I had purchased this machine. Upon starting up the windows, I get this dwm.exe Bad Image Error (Picture Attached in the Bottom).It says: C:WindowsSystem32dxgi.dll error. I have searched over the net and they suggested me to restart pc in safe mode, but nothing happens after I do so.The same Error pops up when I open Photoshop CS5 and also when I try open/saving a file using Windows Directory System from any application. My OS is x64 so are a bunch of programs, like while opening Photoshop it will say; "C:Windowssystem32EhStorShell.dll is either not designed to run to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original media contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support." As soon as I click ok the program works fine, but facing this annoying popup box every time I fire up a program or windows is irritating.I want to know if there are any permanent solutions, I heard it's a fact that you have to format and reinstall your Windows almost every year, is that true? I have installed critical programs with addons, is there any way that I can avoid reinstalling my windows and not face these annoying dialogs?
Not critical, but what is the fix for these oft-seen event viewer warnings?Nameresolution for the name _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.domain.actdsltmp timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.Name resolution for the name isatap.domain.actdsltmp timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
Using Event Viewer/Applications I was getting 5 error events each day. This had to do with a "search" for a file on an external HD. I have just formated the HD and now I get "Warnings" about the the same files. The HD is now blank.
I'm just doing my usual thing today on my laptop and suddenly all these warnings started popping up from AVG (my AV) They keep asking me whether or not to let this EXE (see title) from having access to the internet. I let it but it still pops up. It's located in the Windows folder on the main hard-drive, but if I search "iqagoa.exe" in Google there's only TWO results, neither of which are related at all. What is it? Is it a virus? Can you see it in your Windows folder. If it makes any difference, it mainly popped up when I was using Photoshop. And yesterday I switched to MSE AV but then switched back to AVG as it was really slowing down my system...
I am getting warnings of fatal errors on my HDD which contains Win 7 oem. Can I legally install the same Win 7 oem on a new replacement HDD which will be installed in the same desktop computer
I have a HTPC which includes an ASUS mobo/cpu combo (fanless, smart BIOS, etc). The case is mini ITX with a single case fan. As it is this machine runs really cool since I have no moving parts other than the storage HDD (OS is on SDD).What I ended up doing was move the case fan power plug to the "Chassis1" fan header on the mobo because the BIOS offers more tunability controls for chassis fans than it does the "CPU" fan header.Problem is now, I get popup alerts in my sys tray from the BIOS manager that CPU FAN IS DISABLED or NOT OPERATING.Is there a way I can jumper this power header out with a resistor or something to fake the mobo into thinking it's driving a fan?
My PC used to be on 24/7 until I decided that I wasting power however now it seems to want to close down at 23:15 unless it is actually working on something - This is annoying me and I would like to know what is causing this shutdown
I recently got a laptop from my uncle that was used in his company. When I log into the internet there are 3 extra tabs at the top connected to websites i have no use for. How do I get rid of them?
I have a collection of mp3 files which I save in E:MusicMP3 Files and then in sub directories by artist.Inside some of the particular artist folders there keep appearing files called folder.jpg which are obviously album coverart for the artist.My question is where on earth these are coming from, I do not put them there in fact I delete them when I find them but they often re-appear soon afterwards.
I am contacting you about a problem I recently noticed. Today when I opened windows explorer, under the Network tab I noticed a new unknown computer called VALI-PC. I do not have wireless internet, I have broadband connection. I do not know this computer and I did not add it. At first I thought some sort of virus did it. I have reinstalled Windows, thinking that it would solve the problem, yet the unknown computer is still there. I have tried flushing the dns from the command prompt and other similar tricks, rebooted my computer but it's still there. I would like to know how to block and remove this computer from the Network folder. Note that I am not part of any workgroup and I do not own a workgroup. Also I am using Windows 7 Ultimate.
As a personal preference, I run with the taskbar positioned on the left side of the screen with autohide set. In all previous versions of Windows, when I set the width of the taskbar (usually about 1 inch, so I can see more than just the icon for each task and the quick launch area is three or four icons wide) it stays that way, whether the taskbar is locked or unlocked. With Windows 7, after I set the width, any time the system restarts, whether from Hibernation, reboot, initial startup, what-ever - the taskbar is back to the narrowest setting.
I down loaded an Mp3 music track the other day and on playing it through my WMP I noticed that someone had added a message about someones's blog! It's a couple of lines of text which I don't want.

one day my laptop just started playing the radio thru it and we cant find were its coming from and we want it gone how do i do that its very annoying and its making our laptop move slow.

On my laptop Windows 7 (64bit) I have 3 possibilities of starting my Google Chrome default search machine: 1. Quick Web access button, 2. Google icon on my Desktop, or 3. Google icon in bottom tool bar.No problem until a week ago, when I think downloading a a file from a Polish site changed everything!

How can I remove these unwanted search machines? I can't find them in the programs boblalux has chosen the best answer to his/her question.Click here to view the answer that was selected.
This problem started a few days ago. Whenever I close my laptop, the computer shuts down. I've done the obvious and checked the settings for sleep, hibernate and shutdown on lid close, but those are all set to sleep, not shutdown. As you might imagine, this issue is a real hassle. I've been losing work and spending far too long on start up time with this.
The laptop itself is an hp pavilion dv4, if that might have anything to do with it.
Yantoo is a potentially unwanted application that installs a browser extension to display advertisements which appear to be from Facebook.I personally use Kaspersky Pure running Windows 7 Ultimate which allowed it to load and send spam to my family. Symantec did provide to the public on May 30th 2012.
Evening all, A search engine home.sweetim.com opens up every time I boot up. I use google as my home page and I don't use emoticons, as an answer on PCA to someone else with the same problem seems to suggest. I have done a virus scan and scanned with SAS, MAM and Spybot S&D but it doesn't show in any of the scans.
When I am using my laptop recently even if I am not actually using Google and just playing a game,I am picking up advertising or the news coming through my speakers.I have to turn the modem off to stop it happening.
I've had IE shortcuts on my desktop that I've used without problem for years. Since about 3 days ago whenever I double click one of these links the page opens in InPrivate viewing. If I close the page and retry, the page opens normally without InPrivate.I get the same problem when opening links from emails but closing the webpage and retrying results in me still getting InPrivate viewing. The only option with links in emails is to copy & paste the link
I use Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and have a Brother HL-1440 installed which has been working fine. I recently had to go out of town with my laptop that has the brother printer installed, but did not take my printer with me. A friend lended me an HP laser jet 1022n to use since I forgot my printer. Apparently this printer is so old that when I plug the usb cable into my laptop windows 7 doesnt not find a driver for the printer automatically. So, I tried downloading from the hp site and had issues installing the driver.Lastly, I went to devices and printers > selected Add A Printer > Then add a local printer > Then I select a usb port to connect >I selected what I thought was the correct driver from the list and finished the set up, but when trying to print a test page it would not print. So, I tried adding a printer again and this time selected the correct printer driver with the usb port. So, I am able to print now but when I go devices and printers I notice that it shows the first wrong driver i installed showing as my brother printer. when I look at the properties from right clicking the printer there is a drop down that shows all the drivers i have installed and shows the driver for my brother printer, but when I look back at devices printers it seems to show my brother printer icon named the wrong print driver i installed, basically my brother printer shows with the wrong driver i first installed.
I have Windows Pro and trying to find my way around. I cannot do a screen shot-don't know how. Here is the problem. Out of nowhere- this black screen which looks like "safe mode" pops up on start up. The name at the top is Program File (x86) Restore and Recovery- It says in the black screen- 3 lines saying basically -successful.. and then the window goes away quickl?
When I type the first letter of a tag for a photo tags beginning with that same letter will pop up. In Vista I could remove unwanted tags with regedit and drill down to the tags under windows photo gallery. Can someone tell me where these tags are in Windows 7 Ultimate 64? I am not using Windows Live.
I've just installed a new draft N wifi router to replace my previous B/G router. Perhaps foolishly, I kept the same name for my home network. My new Acer TravelMate, which has draft N capability, was happy (but slow) on the old system and works OK when I connect it to the new router by ethernet. However when I to connect it via wifi it says "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network".
